    Recommend some detail brushes I can use on wheels and engine bay

    I need a few brushes I can use on wheels but also on the engine bay. I see several options when on Autogeek. A couple I'm considering are the Wheel Woolies or Speed Master brushes. I would like any opinion s on these as well as any others. It seems like opinions are split when I searched...

    Help Please: Coating Failure? Oily Smears?

    You can just polish and touch up those spots by reapplying the coating. I've used Gold Glass soap with good results also. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Towels for compound/polish removal

    They actually do both. Some are from SK and some from China as you mentioned. I imagine this is not unique to any distributor. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Towels for compound/polish removal

    I have the best luck with thinner nap towels. I'm currently using a brand from Idaho that isn't sold here, but there are plenty on AG's site that are perfect for wax/polish removal. I'm sure someone will be along shortly that can chime in with specific models. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Storage for microfiber towels

    Mine are in a cabinet with doors that close shut, but I've been thinking about picking up some totes or sealed plastic containers. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Best way to fix this wheel?

    It looks like they are clear coated. You could try compounding them and see how they look. If you don't care about the clear coat, you could strip it off and polish the aluminum. I wouldn't recommend that route if you are going to use them on a daily driver. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Cleaning Polishing Pads? | Stop DAMAGING Your Most Expensive Investment | McKee's 37 Polishing Pad Cleaner Review

    I've been using Griot's microfiber and foam pad cleaner. I wonder what is different about their product that they represent it for both microfiber and foam pads? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Uncoated Aluminum wheel restoration

    Yes, I had a variety of grits I used, from 800/1000 all the way up to 3000. The great thing about uncoated wheels is that you can clean up and repair blemishes. I'd start with a higher rate paper and then get more aggressive. So, maybe start with 1500 to 2000 and see how it responds. Sent...

    Uncoated Aluminum wheel restoration

    I would lightly sand them and then hit them a few times with metal polish. You will be amazed at how good you can get them looking with some time and elbow grease. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
